A regional seminar covering topics related to program funding and
grants administration at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has
been scheduled for July 21-22, 1994. The seminar, hosted by
Northwestern University and held on its Evanston campus, is intended
to attract faculty and research administrators from the midwest
region of the United States, although those interested from other
regions are also invited and welcome. Staff from small and minority
colleges, for-profit research organizations, hospitals, universities,
and medical centers are encouraged to attend.
This two-day seminar will have a dual focus of interest to both
academic researchers, as well as new and senior research
administrators. Discussions of current issues that affect NIH
funding and grants administration will be featured to give conference
participants a comprehensive view of NIH-sponsored research. There
will be time available to network with fellow researchers and meet
informally with NIH representatives to discuss topics of special
interest.
Mr. Geoffrey Grant, Acting Director, NIH Office of Policy for
Extramural Research Administration, and outstanding representatives
from the Grants Policy Office, Division of Research Grants, and
several awarding components of the NIH will be featured speakers.
